Prophylaxis / Cleaning

When it comes to your oral health, prevention is key.

If you’ve never heard of prophylaxis, don’t worry, it’s not as scary as it sounds. In fact, it’s merely the medical term for a professional dental cleaning and the key to preventing cavities, gum disease, tooth loss, and a wide-variety of other dental problems. This simple procedure is part of your dental checkup and is used to remove dental plaque and other irritants from your oral cavity.

Dental cleanings are an essential part of your oral health. As a result, you need to visit your dentist at least every six-months to undergo a prophylaxis. When was the last time you had a dental cleaning? If it’s been more than six months, make sure to call our experienced dentists to schedule your bi-annual dental cleaning today.
